ESSENTIAL  PROVISIONS  OF  THE  STATUTES  RELATING  TO 
FEEDING  STUFFS. 

1.  All  concentrated  feeding  stuifs  must  be  labelled. 

2.  The  label  may  be  a  printed  statement  on  the  bag  or  a  tag  attached 
thereto. 

3.  The  label  must  declare  the  number  of  net  pounds  in  the  package,  the 
name,  brand  or  trade  mark  under  which  the  article  is  sold,  the  name  and 
address  of  the  manufacturer  or  jobber,  and  must  give  the  analysis. 

4.  Dealers  receiving  feeds  in  bulk  are  responsible  for  proper  labelling  of 
such  feeds  when  bagged  by  them  to  be  sold  or  offered  for  sale.  They  should 
require  the  consignor  of  such  bulk  feeds  to  furnish  analyses  and  other 
information  necessary  for  proper  labelling. 

5.  Dealers  mixing  their  own  brands  of  stock  feeds,  dairy  feeds,  poultry 
mashes,  etc.,  are  responsible  for  the  proper  labelling  of  their  products. 

6.  Cottonseed  meal,  whether  used  for  a  feeding  stuff  or  a  fertilizer,  must 
be  registered  with  this  Station  as  a  fertilizer  and  a  registration  fee  paid  for 
each  brand  registered.  A  distinctive  brand  name  or  a  different  analysis 
constitutes  a  distinct  brand. 

7.  Feeding  stuffs  other  than  cottonseed  meal  have  not  heretofore  been 
required  to  be  registered.  Section  4777  provides,  however,  that  such  regis- 
tration shall  be  made  upon  request  of  this  Station.  The  Station  and  the 
Dairy  Commissioner  believe  that  such  registration  is  desirable  and  it  is  now 
being  asked  for.    No  fee  for  such  registration  or  for  analysis  is  required. 

8.  The  use  of  wire  or  any  metal  in  affixing  tags  is  prohibited  by  law. 


Commercial  Feeding  Stuffs. 

E.  M.  Bailey.* 


TEXT  OF  THE  LAW. 

Although  no  substantial  changes  have  been  made  in  the  feeding 
stuffs  law  in  this  State  in  recent  j^ears,  nevertheless  official  inspec- 
tions have  shown  that  some  of  the  provisions  of  the  law  are  not 
understood  or  are  being  ignored.  For  the  benefit  of  wholesale 
and  retail  dealers  in  feeding  stuffs  the  text  of  the  law  is  here  given 
with  comment  upon  those  points  which  require  emphasis. 

Section  4774  of  the  General  Statutes  defines  "Concentrated 
Commercial  Feeding  Stuff"  as  follows: 

"The  term  'concentrated  commercial  feeding  stuff'  shall  inchide  linseed 
mealS;  cottonseed  meals,  pea  meals,  cocoanut  meals,  gluten  meals,  gluten 
feeds,  maize  feeds,  starch  feeds,  sugar  feeds,  dried  brewers'  graii^s,  malt  sprouts, 
hominy  feeds,  cerealine  feeds,  rice  meals,  oat  feeds,  corn  and  oat  chop,  corn 
and  oat  feeds,  ground  beef,  fish  scraps,  mixed  feeds,  provenders,  bran,  middlings 
and  mixed  feeds  made  wholly  or  in  part  from  wheat,  rj'e  or  buckwheat  and  all 
materials  of  a  similar  nature,  but  shall  not  inchide  haj's  and  straws,  the  whole 
seeds  nor  the  unmixed  meals  made  directh'  from  the  seed  of  wheat,  rj^e,  barley, 
oats,  Indian  corn,  buckwheat  or  broom  corn  nor  feed  gi'ound  from  whole  grain 
and  sold  directly  from  manufactm-er  to  consumer." 

From  this  it  appears  that  practically  all  feeds  excepting  hay  and 
straw,  whole  seed,  unmixed  meal  made  directl}"  from  any  of  the 
cereals  or  from  buckwheat,  and  feed  ground  from  whole  grain  and 
sold  directly  from  manufacturer  to  consumer,  are  included  in  the 
term  ''Concentrated  Commercial  FeecHng  Stuff". 

Section  4775  states  the  requirements  as  to  labelling.  This 
section  reads  as  follows : 

"Every  lot  or  parcel  of  concentrated  commercial  feeding  stuff,  sold,  offered 
^r  exposed  for  sale,  shall  have  affixed  thereto  in  a  conspicuous  place  on  the 
outside  thereof  a  plainly  prmted  statement,  except  as  provided  in  section  4776, 
certifying  the  number  of  net  poimds  of  feeding  stuff  contained  therein,  the 
name,  brand  or  trade-mark  under  which  the  article  is  sold,  the  name  and 
address  of  the  manufacturer  or  importer,  and  a  statement  of  the  percentage 
it  contains  of  crude  fat  and  of  crude  protein,  both  constituents  to  be  deter- 
mined by  the  methods  adopted  at  the  time  by  the  association  of  official 
agricultm'al  chemists  of  the  United  States,  but  such  lot  or  parcel  shall  not  be 
sold,  offered  or  ex-posed  for  sale  with  such  statement  affixed  thereto  by  any 
wire  or  other  metal". 


*Analyses  are  chiefly  by  Messrs.  Nolan  and  Fisher;  inspection  and  sam- 
pling by  Mr.  Churchill;  compilation  of  results  largely  by  Miss  Bacon. 


322  CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT   STATION  BULLETIN   257. 

In  accordance  with  this  section  all  concentrated  feeding  stuffs 
must  bear  upon  the  bag,  or  a  tag  attached  thereto,  sl  statement  giving 
the  name  and  address  of  the  manufacturer  or  importer,  the  number 
of  net  pounds  in  the  package,  the  name  of  the  article  and  the  percent- 
age of  protein  and  fat  contained  in  it.  Dealers  receiving  feeding 
stuffs  in  bulk  to  be  bagged  and  distributed  by  them  should  see  to  it 
that  tags  bearing  a  correct  analysis  and  other  information  required 
by  law  are  attached  to  the  bags  before  the  feeds  are  sold  or  offered 
for  sale.  Dealers  mixing  their  own  brands  of  feeds  are  responsible 
for  the  proper  labelling  of  their  products.  '  It  is  illegal  to  use  wire 
or  any  other  metal  in  affixing  tags. . 

While  the  law  requires  that  only  the  percentage  of  protein  and  of 
fat  be  stated,  there  is  no  objection  to  a  statement  of  the  complete 
chemical  analysis.  Likewise,  in  the  case  of  mixed  feeds,  there  is 
no  objection  to  a  statement  of  the  ingredients  used  in  compounding 
them,  but  the  law  in  this  State  does  not  require  it.  If,  however, 
such  additional  information  is  given  it  is  expected  to  be  correct. 

If  a  complete  analysis  is  given  the  term  "nitrogen-fiee  extract'^ 
as  used  therein  means  the  figure  obtained  by  deducting  the  sum  of 
the  percentages  of  moisture,  ash,  protein,  crude  fiber  and  fat  from 
100  per  cent.  The  term  ^^carbohydrates''  includes  the  nitrogen- 
free  extract  and  crude  fiber. 

Section  4776  relates  to  cottonseed  meal  when  sold  for  fertilizer. 
It  reads  as  follows : 

"Whenever  cottonseed  meal  is  sold  for  fertilizer,  the  dealer  shall,  with  the 
consent  of  the  purchaser,  issue  in  lieu  of  the  printed  statement  providea  for  in 
section  4775,  a  certificate  which  shall  contain  the  statements  required  by 
section  4775". 

Attention  is  called  to  the  fact  that,  under  the  fertilizer  law, 
cottonseed  meal  is  classed  as  a  fertilizer.  All  cottonseed  meal  and 
each  brand  thereof,  sold,  offered  or  exposed  for  sale  in  Connecticut 
must,  therefore,  be  registered  as  a  fertilizer  with  this  Station  and  an 
analysis  fee  of  ten  dollars  paid  thereon.  Distinctive  names  or  dif- 
ferent guaranties  of  composition  constitute  distinct  brands. 

Section  4777  relates  to  registration  of  feeds  as  follows. 

"Every  manufacturer,  importer,  agent  or  seller  of  any  concentrated  com- 
mercial feeding  stuff  shall,  upon  request,  file  with  the  Connecticut  Agricul- 
tural Experiment  Station  a  certified  copy  of  the  statement  prescribed  in 
Sections  4775  and  4776." 

The  law  does  not  require  the  registration  of  feeding  stuffs, 
except  upon  request  of  this  Station.  As  already  noted,  however, 
it  is  considered  advisable  to  have  feeding  stuffs  registered  and  such 
registrations  are  now  being  asked  for. 

Section  4778  provides  the  penalty  for  violations  of  the  law. 
It  reads  as  follows : 


GRATUITOUS   ANALYSES    OF    FEEDING    STUFFS  323 

"Every  manufacturer,  importer,  agent  or  person  selling,  offering  or  exposing 
for  sale  any  concentrated  commercial  feeding  stuff  in  relation  to  which  aU  the 
provisions  of  sections  4775,  4776  and  4777  have  not  been  compUed  with,  shall 
be  fined  not  more  than  one  hundred  dollars  for  the  first  offense  and  not  more 
than  two  hundred  doUars  for  each  subsequent  offense." 

Section  4779  relates  to  the  inspection  and  analysis  of  feeds  and 
the  publication  of  the  results  for  public  information.  This  section 
provides  that: 

"The  Connecticut  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  may  collect  a  sample, 
not  exceeding  two  pounds  in  weight,  for  analysis,  from  any  lot,  parcel  or 
package  of  concentrated  commercial  feeding  stuff,  or  unmixed  meals,  brans  or 
middlings,  which  may  be  in  the  possession  of  any  manufactm-er,  importer, 
agent  or  dealer,  but  said  sample  shall  be  taken  in  the  presence  of  the  parties 
in  interest  or  their  representatives,  and  taken  from  a  number  of  parcels  or 
packages  which  shall  not  be  less  than  five  per  centum  of  the  whole  lot 
inspected,  and  shall  be  thoroughly  mixed,  divided  into  two  samples,  placed  in 
glass  vessels,  carefully  sealed,  and  a  label  placed  on  each  stating  the  name  or 
brand  of  the  feeding  stuff  or  material  sampled,  the  name  of  the  party  from 
whose  stock  the  sample  was  taken,  and  the  time  and  place  of  taking  the  same ; 
said  label  shall  be  signed  by  the  station  chemist  or  his  deputy,  and  by  the 
party  or  parties  in  interest  or  their  representatives  present  at  the  taking  and 
sealing  of  said  sample;  one  of  said  samples  shall  be  retained  by  said  chemist 
or  his  deputy  and  the  other  by  the  party  whose  stock  is  sampled.  Said  station 
shall  cause  at  least  one  sample  of  each  brand  of  feeding  stuff  so  collected  to  be 
analyzed  annually  by  or  under  the  direction  of  said  chemist.  Said  analysis 
shall  include  determinations  of  crude  fat  and  crude  protein  and  such  other 
determinations  as  may  be  advisable.  Said  station  shall  cause  the  analysis  so 
made  to  be  published  in  station  bulletins,  together  with  such  additional 
information  in  relation  to  the  character,  composition  and  use  thereof  as  may 
be  of  importance  and  issue  the  same  annually  or  more  frequently  if  advisable". 

Section  4780  provides  for  the  enforcement  of  the  law.     It  says : 

"The  dairy  and  food  commissioner  shall  enforce  the  provisions  of  this 
chapter,  and  when  evidence  is  submitted  by  the  Connecticut  Agricultural 
Experiment  Station  that  said  provisions  have  been  violated,  he  shall  make 
complaint  to  the  proper  prosecuting  officer". 

The  dairy  and  food  commissioner  is  charged  with  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  law  and  prosecutes  violations  upon  evidence  sub- 
mitted by  this  Station. 

Section  4781  defines  the  term  "importer"  as  used  in  the  law  as 
follows : 

"The  term  'importer'  shall  include  such  persons  as  shall  bring  into  or  offer 
for  sale  within  this  state  concentrated  commercial  feeding  stuffs  manufactured 
without  this  state". 

GRATUITOUS  ANALYSES  OF  FEEDING  STUFFS. 

Samples  Submitted  By  Individuals. 

The  foregoing  relates  to  the  inspection  of  feeding  stuffs  for 
purposes  of  official  control.  The  Station  is  frequently  called  upon, 
however,  to  make  analyses  of  feeds  upon  samples  drawn  by  the 


324  CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT   STATION  BULLETIN   257. 

individuals  interested.  While  the  Station  assumes  no  respon- 
sibility for  the  sampling  in  such  cases,  it  insists  that  the  samples 
be  taken  substantially  as  prescribed  by  law.  Blank  forms  to  be 
filled  out  by  the  person  submitting  the  sample  will  be  supplied  by 
the  Station  upon  request. 

Dealers  who  mix  their  own  formulas  sometimes  submit  samples 
for  the  purpose  of  using  our  analysis  as  a  basis  for  their  guaranty. 
The  Station  assumes  no  control  in  such  matters,  and  in  no  way 
guarantees  that  such  analysis  represents  the  minimum  or  average 
composition  of  the  stock  sampled;  it  is  responsible  only  for  the 
correctness  of  the  analysis  of  the  sample  submitted. 

While  the  Station  is  disposed  to  cooperate  with  both  farmer  and 
dealer  in  the  matter  of  gratuitous  analyses  it  reserves  the  right  to 
refuse  this  privilege  in  case  samples  are  submitted  from  any 
source  with  such  frequency  as  to  warrant  the  belief  that  its 
resources  are  being  used  to  exercise  systematic  control  over  pur- 
chases made  by  an  individual  buyer.  This  policy  applies  not  only 
in  the  case  of  feeding  stuffs  but  to  fertilizers  and  gratuitous  work  in 
general. 

Description  of  Sample. 

For  a  proper  description  of  a  sample  of  feeding  stuff  the  follow- 
ing information  should  be  given: 

Sampler's  identification  mark  or  number. 

Name  of  the  feed. 

Name  and  address  of  the  manufacturer  or  jobber. 

Name  and  address  of  the  dealer.        * 

Car  Number. 

Number  of  sacks  from  which  sample  was  taken. 

Guaranty : 

Protein, 

Fat, 

Other  constituents  if  given. 
Date  of  sampling. 
Price  per  ton. 
Remarks. 

Instructions  for  Sampling  Feeding  Stuffs. 

An  analysis  is  of  no  value  if  the  sample  submitted  is  inadequate 
or  carelessly  taken.  In  cases  of  special  importance  the  Station 
may  be  requested  to  send  its  agent  to  draw  samples. 

Provide  a  sampling  tube,  some  large  papers,  and  for  each  sample  a  glass  jar 
or  tin  box  that  can  be  tightly  closed.  Containers,  sampling  tube,  etc.,  should 
be  clean  and  dry. 

The  quantity  of  the  sample  should  be  not  less  than  one  pint. 

Open  at  least  three  full  unbroken  packages  (or  bags),  or  if  there  are  more 
than  thirty,  one  in  every  ten  packages,  or  from  a  car  lot  not  less  than  tventy 
packages,  remove  a  core  from  each  opened  package  by  inserting  the  sampling 
tube  the  full  length  of  the  package,  mix  the  portions  thus  drawn  thoroughly 


r6le  of  the  nutrients.  325 

and  as  quickly  as  possible,  fill  the  can  or  box  from  the  mixture,  close  tightly  and 
identify  the  sample  with  some  distinguishing  number  or  letter. 

If  the  feed  is  in  bulk  draw  portions  from  various  parts  of  the  pile,  the  number 
depending  upon  the  size  of  the  pile;  twenty  portions  should  be  drawn  for  a 
sample  from  a  carload. 

If  a  sampling  tube  is  not  available  a  fairly  satisfactory  sample  maj''  be 
obtained  as  follows:  Mix  the  contents  of  each  package  for  a  foot  in  depth,  take 
a  cupful  from  each  package,  mix  the  portions  thus  drawn  and  prepare  the 
sample  as  already  described. 

Samples  drawn  by  means  of  a  sampling  tube  are  much  more  reliable. 

Send  the  sample  prepaid  to  the  Cormecticut  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station,  New  Haven,  Conn.,  and  enclose  with  it  or  mail  separately  the 
description  of  the  sam-plc  as  herein  described. 

rOle  of  the  nutrients. 

Water.  Air  dry  feeding  stuffs,  whether  concentrates  or  rough- 
age, still  contain  some  moisture  which  cannot  be  seen  or  felt.  The 
amount  of  such  moisture  averages  not  far  from  ten  per  cent. 
While  not  a  nutrient  in  the  ordinary  sense,  water  is  essential  to 
the  animal;  but  since  it  is  obtained  in  abundance  from  sources 
other  than  the  feed,  its  presence  therein  is  not  of  importance. 
Excessive  amounts,  howevei",  jeopardize  the  keeping  qualities  of  a 
feed  and  automatically  reduce  the  percentage  of  the  more  desirable 
ingredients. 

Ash.  The  importance  of  mineral  constituents  in  feeds  is  empha- 
sized by  the  fact  that  animals  fed  upon  rations  deprived  largely 
or  entirely  of  ash  constituents  generally  die  sooner  than  animals 
which  have  been  given  no  food  at  all.  Giving  stock  mineral 
matter  in  addition  to  that  obtained  in  the  dail}'  ration  is  an  old 
and  familiar  practice  among  experienced  stockmen  who  have  long 
"salted  their  cattle"  with  common  salt  (sodium  chloride),  the 
commercial  grades  of  which  contain  small  and  var^dng  amounts 
of  other  minerals  such  as  calcium,  magnesium,  iron  and  phos- 
phorus and  sulphur.  Recent  studies  in  nutrition  have  shown 
some  of  the  specific  needs  which  minerals  satisfy  in  the  vital 
processes.  Thus  big  neck  in  calves,  colts  and  lambs,  and  hairless- 
ness  in  pigs  are  now  attributed  to  iodine  deficiency  in  the  feed; 
and  defective  skeletal  formation  in  growing  animals  is  due  either 
to  a  lack  of  calcium  and  phosphorous  or  to  an  absence  of  the 
necessar}'  agencj"  to  make  the  proper  utilization  of  these  minerals 
possible,  for  it  has  been  shown  that  without  what  has  been  called 
the  fourth,  or  antirachitic,  vitamine  which  is  present  in  cod  liver 
oil  and  in  green  plant  tissues,  calcium  and  phosphorous  cannot  be 
properlj^  assimilated. 

Protein.  This  nutrient  group  is  estimated  bj'  determining  the 
amount  of  nitrogen  which  a  feed  contains  and  multiplying  that 
amount  by  the  factor  6.25  on  the  assumption  that  proteins  uni- 
formly contain  16  per  cent,  of  nitrogen.  While  this  method  of 
estunation  is  not  strictly  accurate  it  is  as  close  an  approximation 
as  it  is  generally  possible  or  practicable  to  get.     From  protein  the 


326  CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT   STATION  BULLETIN   257. 

body  repairs  waste,  builds  new  tissue  and,  to  a  lesser  extent, 
derives  heat  and  energy.  It  was  formerly  thought  that  all  proteins 
were  adequate  for  all  these  processes,  but  it  is  a  comparatively 
recent  contribution  to  our  knowledge  that  they  are  not.  Protein 
is  a  complex  substance  made  up  of  nineteen  separate  parts  called 
amino  acids.  Proteins  which  contain  some  of  all  the  various 
amino  acids  are  called  "complete"  proteins;  those  in  which  one  or 
more  amino  acids  are  lacking  are  called  "incomplete".  Undoubt- 
edly all  these  separate  parts  play  some  role  in  vital  processes; 
more  particularly  we  know  that  tryptophane  and  lysine  are 
essential  to  a  normal  rate  of  growth.  The  proteins  of  cereal 
grains  are  relatively  low  in  the  two  amino  acids  just  mentioned 
while  proteins  of  animal  origin,  such  as  milk,  meat,  and  eggs,  are 
rich  in  these  two  substances;  thus  the  logic  of  supplementing  grain 
rations  with  skimmed  milk  or  tankage  is  apparent.  Grain  mix- 
tures alone  may  suffice  if  fed  in  sufficient  quantity  but  it  may 
happen  that  the  energy  requirements  of  the  animal  will  become 
satisfied  by  non-protein  constituents  of  the  ration  and  its  appetite 
fail  before  enough  of  the  necessary  amino  acids  has  been  acquired. 

Knowledge  of  digestible  nutrients  and  nutritive  ratios  are  not 
the  final  criteria  by  which  rations  are  to  be  adjusted.  The  right 
kind  and  quality  of  protein  must  be  supplied. 

Crude  Fiber.  By  this  term  is  meant  the  coarser  and  more 
woody  tissue  characteristic  of  all  forms  of  roughage  and  present 
in  the  outer  coats  of  cereal  and  other  fodder  grains.  It  belongs  to 
the  carbohydrate  group  and  is,  in  part,  digested  by  ruminant 
animals.  Its  chief  value  lies  in  its  mechanical  effect  in  the 
intestinal  tract. 

Nitrogen-free  Extract.  In  this  class  are  included  the  relatively 
more  digestible  carbohydrates  of  the  starch  and  sugar  types. 
Their  principal  role  in  nutrition  is  to  supply  heat  and  energy,  but 
they  have  also  the  power  of  sparing  protein,  by  which  is  meant 
that  when  fed  together  with  protein  they  reduce  the  amount  of  the 
latter  "food  required.  An  excess  of  this  carbohydrate  group  over 
the  immediate  needs  of  the  body  can  be  transformed  into  fat  and 
stored  in  the  body  tissue. 

The  term  "carbohydrate"  as  applied  to  a  feeding  stuff  properly 
means  "crude  fiber"  and  "nitrogen-free  extract"  combined. 
Nitrogen-free  extract  is  obtained  by  deducting  from  100  per  cent, 
the  sum  of  the  percentages  of  moisture,  ash,  protein,  fiber  and  fat 
(ether  extract). 

Fat  (Ether  Extract).  Fats,  like  the  carbohydrates,  furnish 
energy  to  the  body  and  like  them  also,  but  to  a  lesser  extent,  spare 
protein.  As  energy  producers  their  value  is  2.25  times  greater 
than  that  of  either  carbohydrate  or  protein.  This  ether-soluble 
material  is  in  all  cases  crude  fat,  by  which  we  understand  that 
non-fatty  substances  like  chlorophyll  and  coloring  matter  may 
be  included  therein. 


DIGESTIBLE   NUTRIENTS. 


327 


Accessory  Nutritive  Factors.  In  this  class  are  included  the 
vitamines.  There  is  not  likely  to  be  a  deficiency  of  the  vitamines 
A,  B,  and  C  in  rations  of  domestic  animals  but  the  antirachitic 
vitamine  by  reason  of  its  influence  on  the  assimilation  of  calcium 
and  phosphorus,  as  already  noted,  is  of  very  practical  importance. 
Green  fodder  or  properly  cured  leguminous  haj"  will  supply  this 
factor.  The  beneficial  influence  of  sunlight  uix)n  the  growth  and 
development  of  animals  has  also  been  strikingly  demonstrated,  and 
it  may  be  classed  with  the  vitamines  as  an  accessory  nutritive 
factor. 

DIGESTIBLE  NUTRIENTS. 

The  gross  amount  of  nutrient  material  taken  into  the  annual 
body  is  probably  never  completely  utilized.  That  portion  of 
such  material  which  actual  feeding  tests  have  shown  is  retained 
in  the  animal  body,  is  taken  to  be  the  coefficient  of  digestibility 
of  that  material  and  is  expressed  in  per  cent. 

Thus,  for  cottonseed  meal  it  has  been  found  that,  on  the  average 
85  per  cent,  of  the  protein,  37  per  cent,  of  the  fiber,  75  per  cent,  of 
the  carbohydrates  and  95  per  cent,  of  the  fat  are  digestible;  or, 
in  other  words,  out  of  each  100  parts  of  protein,  of  fiber,  of  carbo- 
hydrates and  of  fat  that  an  animal  eats,  85,  37,  75  and  95  parts, 
respectively,  are  retained  in  the  body;  i.e.,  not  excreted.  These 
figures  are  taken,  therefore,  to  be  the  coefficients  of  digestibil- 
ity for  the  several  nutrients  as  they  are  found  in  cottonseed  meal. 

Coefficients  of  digestibilit}'  for  some  common  commercial  con- 
centrates are  given  in  the  following  table.

Only  official  samples  collected  by  the  Station  agent  and  those 
submitted  by  individuals  are  discussed  in  this  report. 

Remarks  on  Analyses. 
{Analyses  in  Table  III,  jyages  336-355). 

The  definitions  of  feeding  stuffs  here  given  are  those  adopted 
by  the  Association  of  Feed  Control  Officials  as  revised  to  Novem- 
ber, 1923. 

Samples  were  collected  in  November  and  December  of  1923  and 
prices,  where  given,  are  those  quoted  at  that  time. 

cottonseed  meal. 

/fl.l2  Per  cent.  Protein  Cottonseed  Meal,  Choice  Quality,  must  be  finel}' 
groxmd,  not  necessarily  bolted,  perfectly  sound  and  sweet  in  odor,  yellow, 
free  from  excess  of  lint,  and  by  analysis  must  contain  at  least  41.12  per  cent, 
crude  protein,  equivalent  to  8  per  cent,  of  ammonia. 

Cotton  seed  meal  not  fulfilling  the  above  requirements  as  to  color,  odor, 
or  texture,  shall  be  branded  Off  Quahty. 

38.56  Per  cent.  Protein  Cottonseed  Meal,  Prime  Quality,  must  be  finely 
ground,  not  necessarily  bolted,  of  sweet  odor,  reasonably  bright  in  color, 
yellow,  not  brown  or  reddish,  free  from  excess  of  lint,  and  by  analysis  must 
contain  at  least  38.56  per  cent,  crude  protein,  equivalent  to  7.5  per  cent,  of 
ammonia. 

Cottonseed  meal  not  fulfilling  the  above  requirements  as  to  color,  odor  or 
texture,  shall  be  branded  Off  Quality. 

36  Per  Cent.  Protein  Cottonseed  Meal,  Good  Quality,  must  be  finely  ground, 
not  necessarily  bolted,  of  sweet  odor,  reasonablj'  bright  in  color,  free  from 


INSPECTION   AND   ANALYSES.  329 

excess  lint  and  must  contain  at  least   36  per  cent,  crude  protein,  equivalent 
to  7  per  cent,  of  ammonia. 

Cottonseed  Meal  not  fulfilling  the  above  requirements  as  to  color,  odor  or 
texture,  shall  be  branded  Off  Quality. 

Eleven  samples  were  examined,  two  of  which,  22135  and  22004, 
were  deficient  in  protein  by  more  than  1  per  cent.  One,  22013, 
had  the  tags  secured  by  wire  which  is  illegal. 

The  average  composition  as  regards  protein,  fiber  and  fat  was 
37.9  per  cent.,  11.2  per  cent,  and  6.4  per  cent.,  in  the  order  named. 
The  average  cost  per  ton  was  $56.18. 

In  the  inspection  a  year  ago  it  was  shown  that  protein  was 
purchased  at  better  advantage  in  43  per  cent,  meal,  14.4  pounds 
of  protein  being  purchased  for  .SI. 00  in  the  first  named  grade  as 
compared  with  12.5  pounds  in  the  last  named  grade.  A  similar 
comparison  this  year  shows  for  43  per  cent,  meal  14.4  pounds  and 
for  36  per  cent,  meal  13.3  pounds.  Again  the  comparison  favors 
the  highest  grade;  the  data,  however,  are  based  upon  a  rather 
limitecl  number  of  samples,  particularly  of  the  43  per  cent,  group. 

COTTONSEED  FEED. 

Cottonseed  Feed  is  a  mixture  of  cottonseed  meal  and  cottonseed  hulls  con- 
taining less  than  36  per  cent,  protein. 

One  sample.  White  Mule  brand,  was  guaranteed  to  contain  36 
per  cent,  of  protein  and  39  per  cent,  was  found;  in  other  respects 
also  the  guarant}''  was  exceeded. 

LINSEED   MEAL. 

Linseed  Cake  or  Meal  is  oil  cake  or  meal  made  from  flaxseed,  jirovided  that 
the  final  product  shall  contain  less  than  6  per  cent,  of  weed  seeds  and  other 
foreign  materials  and,  provided,  further  that  no  portion  of  the  stated  6  per 
cent,  of  weed  seeds  and  other  foreign  materials  shall  be  deliberately  added. 

Old  Process  Oil  Meal,  Old  Process  Linseed  ]Meal  is  oil  meal  as  defined  or 
linseed  meal  as  defined  produced  by  crushing,  cooKing  and  hydrauHc  pressure. 

The  six  samples  examined  satisfied  their  guaranties  in  all  re- 
spects.    One,  22176,  had  tags  secured  by  wire  which  is  illegal. 

The  average  protein  content  was  31.9  per  cent,  and  the  average 
cost  per  ton  was  -$56. 83.  This  is  2  per  cent,  less  protein  than  was 
found  last  jea,r  and  the  price  per  ton  is  about  $4.00  less. 

WHEAT   BRAN. 

Wheat  Bran  is  the  coarse  outer  coating  of  the  wheat  Kernel  as  separated 
from  cleaned  and  scoured  wheat  in  the  usual  process  of  commercial  milling. 

Nineteen  samples  of  wheat  bran  were  examined.  All  sub- 
stantially met  or  exceeded  the  guaranties  for  protein   and  no 


330  CONNECTICUT   EXPEEIMENT   STATION  BULLETIN   257. 

deficiencies  in  fat  or  excesses  of  fiber  were  found.     Two  samples, 
22102  and  22117,  had  tags  attached  by  means  of  wire. 

The  quahty  of  the  samples  examined  equals  the  average  of  other 
years,  but  the  cost  per  ton  is  about  $4.00  more  than  last  year  and 
nearly  $12.00  in  advance  of  the  average  price  quoted  two  years 
ago. 

WHEAT   MIDDLINGS 

Standard  Middlings  consists  mostly  of  fine  particles  of  bran,  germ  and 
very  little  of  the  fibrous  offal  obtained  from  the  "tail  of  the  mill."  This 
product  must  be  obtained  in  the  usual  commercial  process  of  milhng  and  shall 
not  contain  more  than  9.5  per  cent,  crude  fiber. 

Flour  Middlings  shall  consist  of  standard  middlings  and  red  dog  flour  com- 
bined in  the  proportions  obtained  in  the  usual  process  of  milUng  and  shall 
not  contain  more  than  6.0  per  cent,  crude  fiber. 

ReA  Dog  Flour  consists  of  a  mixture  of  low-grade  flour,  fine  particles  of  bran 
and  the  fibrous  offal  from  the  "tail  of  the  mill"  and  shall  not  contain  more  than 

4.0  per  cent,  crude  fiber. 

Brown  Shorts  (Red  Shorts)  consists  mostly  of  the  fine  particles  of  bran, 
germ  and  very  little  of  the  fibrous  offal  obtained  from  the  "tail  of  the  mill". 
This  product  must  be  obtained  in  the  usual  commercial  process  of  milling. 

Gray  Shorts  (Gray  Middlings  or  Total  Shorts)  consists  of  the  fine  particles 
of  the  outer  bran,  the  inner  bran  or  bee-wing  bran,  the  germ  and  the  offal  or 
fibrous  materials  obtained  from  the  "tail  of  the  mill."  This  product  must  be 
obtained  in  the  usual  process  of  commercial  milling. 

White  Shorts  or  White  Middlings  consists  of  a  small  portion  of  the  fine  bran 
particles  and  the  germ  and  a  large  portion  of  the  fibrous  offal  obtained  from 
the  "tail  of  the  mill."  This  product  must  be  obtained  in  the  usual  process 
of  flour  milhng. 

Brown  shorts,  gray  shorts  and  white  shorts  are  further  differen- 
tiated on  the  basis  of  fiber  contents,  tentative  limits  for  which  have 
been  set  at  6.5,  5.5  and  3.5  per  cent,  for  the  classes  in  the  order 
named. 

Standard  middlings  differ  from  brown  shorts  (red  shorts),  in 
that  the  latter  have  less  fiber;  3  per  cent,  less  according  to  the 
tentative  fiber  limits  which  have  been  adopted. 

None  of  the  samples  exceeded  the  limits  of  fiber  set  for  standard 
middlings.  In  many  cases  the  fiber  is  low  enough  to  classify  them 
as  shorts  although  the  labels  seldom  declare  such  grade.  Protein 
and  fat  guaranties  were  met  or  exceeded  in  all  cases.  The  average 
composition  for  this  group  of  feeds  is  protein  17.3  per  cent.,  fiber 

6.1  per  cent,  and  fat  5.5  per  cent.     The  average  ton  price  is  about 
$5.00  in  advance  of  that  quoted  in  the  previous  inspection. 

MIXED    FEED. 

Wheat  Mixed  Feed  (Mill  Run  Wheat  Feed)  consists  of  pure  wheat  bran  and 
the  gray  or  total  shorts  or  flour  middlings  combined  in  the  proportions  ob- 
tained in  the  usual  process  of  commercial  milhngs. 

The  tentative  limits  for  fiber  content  of  mixed  feed  in  8.5  per 
cent. ;  and  for  hard  wheat  mixed  feed  9.5  per  cent. 


INSPECTION   AND   ANALYSES.  331 

The  average  fiber  content  for  this  group  as  shown  by  analyses 
was  7.1  per  cent,  and  no  single  sample  exceeded  8.5  per  cent.  No 
deficiencies  in  protein  or  in  fat  were  found.  The  average  com- 
position was  found  to  be  protein  16.3  per  cent.,  fiber  7.1  per  cent, 
and  fat  5.4  per  cent.  An  increase  in  price  of  about  $4.00  per  ton 
is  noted  as  compared  with  the  inspection  a  year  ago. 

RYE    PRODUCTS. 

Rye  Middlings  or  Rye  Feed  is  the  by-product  obtained  from  the  manu- 
facture of  ordinarj'  "100  per  cent."  rye  flour  from  cleaned  and  scoured  rye 
grain. 

Two  samples  of  rye  middlings  were  examined  both  of  which 
satisfied  their  guaranties  in  all  respects. 

WHEAT   AND   RYE   PRODUCTS. 

A  sample  of  the  mixed  middlings  of  wheat  and  rye  was  found 
to  fully  conform  to  its  guaranty. 

BUCKWHEAT    PRODUCTS. 

Buckwheat  Shorts  or  Buckwheat  Middlinr/s  are  that  portion  of  the  buckwheat 
grain  immediately  inside  of  the  hull  after  separation  from  the  flour. 

Two  samples  were  examined  one  of  which  was  described  as 
consisting  of  middlings,  buckwheat  hulls  and  buckwheat  screen- 
ings. This  last  named  feed  was  high  in  fiber,  as  might  be  expected, 
but  did  not  exceed  the  limit  of  fiber  declared.  The  sample  of  buck- 
wheat middlings,  22148,  was  without  a  statement  of  guaranty. 

OAT   PRODUCTS. 

Oat  Middlings  are  the  floury  portions  of  the  oat  groat  (Kernel),  obtained 
in  the  milling  of  roUea  oats. . 

Oat  Shorts  are  the  covering  of  the  oat  grain  tying  immediately  inside  the 
hull,  being  a  fuzzy  material  carrying  with  it  considerable  portions  of  the  fine 
flourj^  part  of  the  groat  obtained  in  the  milling  of  rolled  oats. 

Two  samples  were  examined.     One,  Corno.  was  described  as  a 
mixture  of  oat  middlings,  oat  shorts  and  oat  hulls. 
Both  samples  conformed  to  then-  guaranties. 

CORN    GLUTEN    FEED. 

Corn  Gluten  Feed  is  that  portion  of  commercial  shelled  corn  that  remains 
after  the  separation  of  the  larger  part  of  the  starch  and  the  germs  by  the 
processes  employed  in  the  manufacture  of  cornstarch  and  glucose.  It  may 
or  maj^  not  contain  corn  solubles. 

Five  samples  were  examined  and  all  substantially  equalled  or 
exceeded  their  guaranties  for  protein  and  fat.  The  average  price 
per  ton,  $55.20,  is  about  $6.00  higher  than  quoted  a  year  ago. 


332  CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT   STATION  BULLETIN   257. 

CORN   GLUTEN   MEAL. 

Corn  Gluten  Meal  is  that  part  of  commercial  shelled  corn  that  remains 
after  the  separation  of  the  larger  part  of  the  starch,  the  germ  and  the  bran, 
by  the  processes  employed  in  the  manufacture  of  cornstarch  and  glucose.  It 
may  or  may  not  contain  corn  solubles. 

The  one  sample  examined  considerably  exceeded  the  guaranty 
for  protein  and  fat. 

HOMINY   FEED. 

Hominy  Feed,  Hominy  Meal  or  Hominy  Chop  is  the  kiln-dried  mixture 
of  the  mill  run  bran  coating,  the  mill  run  germ,  with  or  without  a  partial 
extraction  of  the  oil  and  a  part  of  the  starchy  portion  of  the  white  corn  kernel 
obtained  in  the  manufacture  of  hominy,  homin}'  grits  and  corn  meal  by  the 
degerminating  process. 

Sixteen  samples  were  analyzed  and  no  deficiencies  in  protein  or 
excesses  of  fiber  were  found.  Five  samples  showed  deficiencies  in 
ether  extract  (crude  fat),  greater  than  0.25  per  cent.  One  sample, 
22175,  bore  tags  attached  by  means  of  wire. 

BREW^ERS'    GRAINS. 

Brewers'  Dried  Grains  are  the  properly  dried  residue  from  cereals  obtained 
in  the  manufacture  of  beer. 

Two  samples  were  examined  one  of  which,  22067,  was  1.12  per 
cent,  low  in  protein. 

DRIED    BEET   PULP. 

Dried  Beet  Pulp  is  the  dried  residue  from  sugar  beets  which  have  been 
cleaned  and  freed  from  crowns,  leaves  and  sand,  and  which  have  been  ex- 
tracted in  the  process  of  manufacturing  sugar. 

Five  samples  were  examined  all  of  which  satisfied  the  require- 
ments of  their  guaranties. 

PROPRIETARY    MIXED    FEEDS. 

These  feeds  aim  to  supply  ready  mixed  so-called  balanced 
rations  for  the  various  classes  of  farm  animals.  Some,  no  doubt, 
are  compounded  carefully  and  with  the  best  available  information 
of  feed  values.  Chemical  analyses  will  furnish  data  as  to  the  gross 
amounts  of  the  several  nutrients  from  which  may  be  estimated  the 
digestible  nutrients;  but  only  feeding  practice  will  demonstrate 
the  quality  of  the  nutrients. 

A  study  of  the  analyses  tabulated  under  the  heading  of  "Horse, 
Dairy  and  Stock  Feeds",  p.  346,  shows  that  there  are,  exclusive  of 
three  calf  meals,  seventy  samples  which  may  be  divided  into  three 
nearly  equal  groups  on  the  basis  of  their  protein  content,  viz.,  10 
per  cent.,  20  per  cent,  and  25  per  cent.  As  there  are  only  four 
samples  which  would  fall  in  a  15  per  cent,  group  no  separate 
classification  was  made  for  these,  but  they  were  placed  in  the  10 


SUMMARY    OF   DEFICIENCIES.  333 

per  cent,  or  the  20  per  cent,  groups.  The  10  per  cent,  group  in- 
cludes feeds  of  protein  content  ranging  roughly  from  8  to  14  per 
cent.;  the  20  per  cent,  group  ranges  from  17  to  22  per  cent.;  and 
the  25  per  cent,  group  includes  all  those  having  above  22  per  cent, 
of  protein. 

The  average  composition  of  each  of  these  three  groups  as  regards 
protein,  nitrogen-free  extract  and  fat  and  the  average  price  per  ton 
is  given  in  the  following  summary:

On  the  basis  of  amounts  of  nutrients  secured  for  one  dollar  in 
each  of  these  three  groups  the  following  comparison  can  be  made. 

Nutrients  for  One  Dollar  in  Three  Groups  of 
Proprietary  Feeds.

Protein  10  per  cent. 
Protein  20  per  cent. 
Protein  25  per  cent. 

These  comparisons  are  based  upon  the  gross  amounts  of 
nutrients.  By  reason  of  the  miscellaneous  sources  from  which  the 
nutrients  in  proprietary  feeds  are  derived  and  the  difficulty  in 
ascertaining  the  exact  proportions  of  the  ingredients,  digestible 
nutrients  cannot  be  accurately  computed.  The  comparative 
figures  given  show  that  the  price  per  ton  increases  as  the  protein 
content  of  the  feed  increases;  protein  is  the  most  expensive  of  the 
nutrients.  Fat  does  not  vary  greatly  in  the  three  groups  and  the 
amounts  secured  for  the  unit  price  are  practicalh^  identical.  For 
the  same  amount  of  moncA^  the  feeder  secures  in  the  20  per  cent, 
protein  group  two-thirds  more  protein  and  one-fourth  less  nitrogen- 
free  extract  than  in  the  10  per  cent,  protein  group;  in  the  25  per 
cent,  protein  group  he  secures  twice  as  much  protein  and  one-third 
less  nitrogen-free  extract  than  in  the  10  per  cent,  protein  group. 
So  far  as  protein  is  concerned  the  lowest  priced  feeds  are,  on  the 
average,  its  most  expensive  source. 

SUMMARY  OF  DEFICIENCIES. 

In  Table  II  is  given  a  summary  of  those  feeds  which  were  found 
not  to  meet  the  requirements  of  their  guaranties  or  were  otherwise 
illegal.  Only  variations  from  guaranty  greater  than  1  per  cent, 
in  protein  and  fiber  and  0.25  per  cent,  in  fat  are  noted.

MISCELLANEOUS  SAMPLES. 

Samples  Submitted  By  Individuals  ok  Drawn  at  Their 

Request. 

Table  IV  summarizes  analyses  made  for  individuals.  In  most 
cases  samples  were  drawn  by  the  senders;  but  in  a  few  cases 
samples  were  officially  drawn  by  our  agent  on  request. 

These  samples  come  under  the  head  of  gratuitous  analyses  which 
have  been  discussed  elsewhere  in  this  report. 

Materials  Examined  for  Poisons.^ 
19794.     Stock  Feed.     Submitted  by  a  purchaser.     With  the  aid 
of  a  lense  green  particles  were  plainly  seen  in  this  sample.     Qualita- 
tive tests  showed  copper  and  arsenic  (the  essential  constituents  of 
Paris  Green),  in  considerable  amounts. 

21570.  Poultry  Mash.  Submitted  by  a  dealer.  Thnty  chickens 
died  after  eating  this  mash.  The  feed  was  composed  chiefly  of 
corn  meal,  bran,  oats,  etc.  Green  particles  were  seen  in  the  feed 
and  there  were  lumps  in  which  the  green  substance  was  present. 
Chemical  tests  showed  the  presence  of  considerable  quantities  of 
copper  and  arsenic.  Paris  Green  had  become  mixed  with  the  feed 
accidentally  or  otherwise. 

18658,  20858,  21915,  22219,  22287,  and  22288.  These  feeds 
were  examined  but  nothing  was  found  to  explain  the  unfavorable 
or  fatal  results  reported  to  have  followed  the  feeding  of  these 
products.

user  of  this  product  against  loss  of  his  stock  by  contagious  disease 
provided  he  has  fed  the  conditioner  continuously  and  in  accord  with 
directions. 

Examination  of  a  sample  of  this  product  submitted  by  a  pros- 
pective agent  was  made  with  the  following  results: 

Moisture  9.88  per  cent.;  nitrogen  1.12  per  cent.;  ash  (mineral  matter),  9.58 
per  cent.;  vegetable  bitters,  none  detected;  emodin-like  substances,  none 
found ;  saltpeter,  none  found ;  fenugreek  bicarbonate  of  soda,  ferrous  sulphate 
and  magnesium  sulphate,  present;  seed  coats  or  hulls,  large  amount  present. 

Seed  coats  (resembling  cotton  hulls)  comprised  a  large  propor- 
tion of  the  product.  There  was  about  10  per  cent,  of  mineral 
matter  consisting  chiefly  of,  or  containing,  bicarbonate  of  soda, 
iron  and  epsom  salt.  No  vegetable  bitters  or  vegetable  cathartics 
were  detected. 

The  mineral  ingredients  found  in  this  preparation  are  not  un- 
common in  so-called  stock  conditioners  and  tonics.  We  have  no 
information  as  to  what  the  directions  for  feeding  this  remedy  (as 
specified  in  the  guaranty),  are.  However,  the  observation  of  a 
leading  authority^  on  feeds  and  feeding  seems  pertinent  in  this 
connection.  This  text  says:  "The  stock  foods  are  usually  accom- 
panied by  directions  which  advocate  liberal  feeding  and  good  care 
for  the  animals  to  be  fed  in  order  to  secure  the  benefits  from  the 
tonic".  In  other  words  some  benefit  is  bound  to  arise  from  the 
increased  care  and  attention  which  the  animals  will  be  given.
